The document is a presentation about getting started with IoT using only a laptop. It discusses different hardware platforms like the BBC micro:bit, Arduino, Raspberry Pi and MXChip that can be programmed from a laptop. It also covers software options for simulating devices, including Microsoft MakeCode for the micro:bit, TinkerCAD for Arduino and emulators for the Raspberry Pi and MXChip. The presentation encourages attendees to start building their own IoT projects using the resources provided.

The Connected Cow
“To identify a cow in heat, you need to
spend at least 20-30 minutes in the
stables, four to five times a day”

27. IoT with only your laptop – Copyright Pete Gallagher 2019 @Pete_Codes
 Oestrus only lasts between 12-18 hours….
 Only once per 21 days
 Normally occurs between 10pm and 8am
 Traditionally detected by visual monitoring
 70% Conception Rate
 Only 55% probability of correctly identifying oestrus
 Pregnancy Rate of 39%
